Researchers have successfully reconstructed the ancient genomes of Human betaherpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A/B) from human remains that are over two thousand years old.

Learn how ancient DNA from human remains provided the first direct evidence that a common childhood virus has been part of the human genome since the Iron Age. Human herpesvirus 6 is nearly universal ...

A virus that infects nearly all children early in life has, in rare cases, been present within human DNA for thousands of ...

Viruses often feel like modern threats linked to recent history. Scientific research now shows a much older relationship between humans and certain viruses. A new study shows that Human ...
